Doyle had been working at Little Caesar's Pizza at 1010 N. Washington St. for about three weeks. Doyle told police he was opening the restaurant Saturday when two men forced their way into the building and one pulled a gun.

He said the men forced him to lie on the floor while they emptied the safe and drove away, police said.

After conducting an investigation, police say they believe Doyle invented the story and stole the money himself.
